And he put it open before me, and it had writing on the front and on the back; words of grief and sorrow and trouble were recorded in it.

This is what the Lord has said: Give blows with your hand, stamping with your foot, and say, O sorrow! because of all the evil and disgusting ways of the children of Israel: for death will overtake them by the sword and through need of food and by disease.

The time has come, the day is near: let not him who gives a price for goods be glad, or him who gets the price have sorrow:

The king will give himself up to sorrow, and the ruler will be clothed with wonder, and the hands of the people of the land will be troubled: I will give them punishment for their ways, judging them as it is right for them to be judged; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

You will be broken and full of sorrow, with the cup of wonder and destruction, with the cup of your sister Samaria.

Son of man, see, I am taking away the desire of your eyes by disease: but let there be no sorrow or weeping or drops running from your eyes.

Let there be no sound of sorrow; make no weeping for your dead, put on your head-dress and your shoes on your feet, let not your lips be covered, and do not take the food of those in grief.

And your head-dresses will be on your heads and your shoes on your feet: there will be no sorrow or weeping; but you will be wasting away in the punishment of your evil-doing, and you will be looking at one another in wonder.

This is what the Lord has said: Because Moab and Seir are saying, See, the people of Judah are like all the nations;

And they will have the hair of their heads cut off because of you, and will put haircloth on their bodies, weeping for you with bitter grief in their souls, even with bitter sorrow.

Son of man, let your voice be loud in sorrow for the people of Egypt and send them down, even you and the daughters of the nations; I will send them down into the lowest parts of the earth, with those who go down into the underworld.

Son of man, let your face be turned to Mount Seir, and be a prophet against it,

And say to it, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am against you, O Mount Seir, and my hand will be stretched out against you, and I will make you a waste and a cause for wonder.

And I will make Mount Seir a cause for wonder and a waste, cutting off from it all comings and goings.

You will become a waste, O Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
